When you're over 'Margs' and you're ready to escape the crowded coast, open your mind to the possibilities for secluded rest and relaxation when you own almost 200 acres of bushland and live or holiday in this 'off the grid' escape pod.
Constructed in 2007 the home has been built to visually invite the forest inside so you feel like you're living in the bush while you're tucked up warm inside. One side of the home is predominantly made of glass and with the only close neighbours being kangaroos the calming influence of the natural forest sets the mood.
The home is ideal for one or two people to enjoy, with its two bedrooms set at either end of the building. Lounge/living and dining areas are adjacent to the well appointed kitchen and create an inclusive, welcoming place to call home. Built more recently, the deck area has added another dimension to this lovely home and begs the visitor to sit for a while and appreciate the sounds and sights of the bush. At the back of the home the carport provides shelter as you disembark your vehicle and enter your holiday destination. The outdoor entertaining possibilities are extensive, with a deck, a long verandah, a bricked barbeque nook, two large carport lean too covered areas, a fenced garden area and plenty of places in the bush to set up a fire bucket and enjoy good times with friends and family.
The large barn style shed was built in 2015 and is insulated for your comfort. The shed roof holds a series of solar panels which in turn power a set of 8 deep cycle batteries connected to a solar power system rated at approximately 5 kv and suitable for powering a typical 4 bedroom house. Power is transmitted to the house via underground cable and as portable generator is on hand for those very rare occasions when extra power is required. A section of the shed has been partitioned off to form the power room and further partitioning separates the catering and ablution parts of the shed, together with a studio room kept separate from the more open part of the shed. The shed floor has a smooth finish to make keeping it clean easy.
With such a large roof area for catchment rainwater supplies are plentiful and there is a total of approximately 164,000 litres storage available between the various tanks. Water is heated by a gas system on each building and there is a satellite TV connection in place.
Wandoo Retreat has been registered as a voluntary wildlife sanctuary with Land For Wildlife. The owners of the property have enjoyed watching the wildlife including kangaroos, echidnas from time to time a wide array of bird life and numerous shingleback lizards in the warmer months.
